Nautical Flags Quilt

A while ago I designed a quilt for the new Nautical line from Makower which looked something like this.

My friend Jane Davidson from QuiltJane used her EQ skills to turn my drawing into this.

Last week the fabrics arrived on my doorstep.

And, after a few days of tussling with them, they ended up looking like this. I quilted it using a cream Aurifil 50wt in a diagonal cross hatch which gives the quilt a lovely uniform overall quilted texture without interfering with the simple shapes in the blocks.

Ooh, maybe we're neighbors- I have an imaginary NE beach house as well, which I've decorated and redecorated a hundred times over thanks to Pinterest. LOVE this quilt! It really would be the perfect fit for a NE beach house!

You know Lynne....I am in New England and near the beach...if the quilt ever feels too out of place in England, you know where to send it ;) It's great. My sailboat loving husband would love it. Perhaps I will have to make a nautical flag quilt someday. It was a good design choice for this line.

Thanks for the ideas your share hereSo far, I am looking for a source of reference on various websitesNow I have found what I was looking for all this timeI keep the spirit to strive to be the best, one of which is a reference from your idea that really helped me.Once again I want to say thank youhadroh jeparamarawis jepararebana jepara
